Double-Bill Festival: S.Akash & Vivek Pandya | Manas Kumar & Ojas Adhiya

ICMCA is delighted to present a unique double-bill concert experience—a mini-festival that celebrates the brilliance, vitality, and evolving voice of Hindustani classical music. This special afternoon brings together two distinct concerts, each pairing an outstanding melodic artist with a masterful tabla accompanist, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience contrasting musical conversations within a single immersive event. An intermission between the two concerts allows audiences to relax, connect, and enjoy refreshments, before returning for a second spellbinding performance. Adding to the excitement, each concert will feature a short tabla solo, highlighting the rhythmic mastery and individual artistry of two of today’s most compelling tabla musicians.

Concert II: [5:30 - 7:30 PM]
Manas Kumar (Violin) with Ojas Adhiya (Tabla)
The second concert brings together violin virtuoso Manas Kumar and the celebrated tabla artist Ojas Adhiya, in a powerful and lyrical exploration of raga and rhythm, enhanced by a surprise saxophone collaboration that promises an exciting dimension to the evening.
